LONDON, April 2O.-John Morley addressed
audience of 1000 persons AZ Woverhampton this
ming Referring to Mr. Gladstone he said that no other
great leader had evsr launched great issue fought
tor great with spirit entirely iorgetfu OF
its persc nality and entirely shutting out the
mean and ignoble considerations which seemed TO
affect ignoble minds. The Crimes BILL continued the
speaker awakened tens of thousands OF Liberals to
what they aid when they rejected Mr. Gladstone's
policy. He repudated the accusation that the Lib
erals countenanced violence and obstruction in Para-
ment that they allied themselves with men whose
hands stained with outrage. He reminded MT
Chamberlain that he, in "The Fortnightly Review +"
TOR February, 1886, advised that the Parnele lead
ers be taken into the councils OF the Queen. The
Round Table conferences had been suspended because
Mr.. Chamberlain, though conci,iatOry in conclave
continued In speech and letter publicly to revive the
old bitterness The Unionsts proposed to settle the
question by ignoring fve-sxhs Of the Irish people and
clubbing their trusted representatives ruhians.
On the general charge of completely crmeIbrought
against the Psrnees, he had TO that the charge
was fully stated before Parliament in 1883 when the
Irish Government, after the fullest inquiries found
| that the accusation could not be proved With re-
gard to the latest charge made by "The Times" until
that paper ex ,laned how it obtained the letter and
the grounds for believing 1t to be authentic. lie thoud
content himself with Mr.. Parnelps denial. On the
| fringe of every popular movement some bad
men, but it mistake to call the sh-American
Home Rulers the scum OF the earth. The Chicago
convention had resulted in the defeat OF the party OF
violence The testimony of prejudioed witnesses
was that they had to deal. not with rufians but with
all that was best and most honorable and most
